Blog posts to read while knitting, if you like getting kinda riled up while knitting by reading strange things people write about knitters and the etiquette of knitting in public:

I especially liked the line "Some of us feel that macrame is not a tool for social change."

I just got back from a vacation in which we went to 5 baseball games in 5 days and I knit at every one. A couple of people joshingly said things like "I guess you don't want to pay attention to the game!" but I didn't care. At one field I did actually feel I should put down my knitting because of the possibility of being hit by foul balls, and I did.

At the last game I measured the back of my sweater and found that I'd gone an inch past when I should have been shaping the armholes. Oh well.

I went to Stitch'n'Pitch night and found it quite easy to pay attention to the game and still get some knitting done. They have such long breaks between innings for commercials, if nothing else.

I have that problem of getting distracted and going past where I should be doing some shaping, too.
